Hotels.com and Capital One Venture Cards: Earn 10x Miles Per Dollar

As airlines and hotels have added more restrictions to their reward programs, credit card users have increasingly turned to cards like the Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card and Capital One® VentureOne® Rewards Credit Card that offer miles that can be redeemed for any flight or hotel room. Now, Capital One has partnered with Hotels.com to offer 10x miles when booking stays at hundreds of thousands of properties around the world.

How to Earn 10x Miles on Your Hotel Stays

When you use your Capital One Venture or VentureOne rewards cards to purchase reservations at Hotels.com, you will earn 10x Capital One miles for every dollar you spend, so long as you make your bookings from hotels.com/venture and not any other URL. You can earn an unlimited amount of miles from this offer so long as your reservations are booked and paid for between now and January 31, 2020, even if your stay occurs afterwards. You must pay online at the time of booking to earn the 10x miles, which excludes lodging options where payment is received at the property. Additionally, customers cannot earn rewards when paying with PayPal or when purchasing packages, flights, or group bookings.

The 10x miles you can earn with your Capital One Venture® or VentureOne® rewards cards are in addition to the Hotels.com Rewards that you can earn, regardless of your method of payment. With the Hotels.com Rewards program, you can earn a free night for every 10 nights you stay. By utilizing both programs, you’ll effectively earn two free night stays for every ten nights booked. Hotels.com is part of the Expedia group of online travel agencies and it allows you to book stays at over 297,000 properties around the world.

About the Capital One Venture® and VentureOne® Rewards Cards

This new Hotels.com promotion makes the current Venture and VentureOne cards even more valuable than they had been. The Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card currently offers new cardmembers 50,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 on new purchases within three months of account opening. You also earn double miles on all purchases with no limits. Miles are worth one cent each as statement credits towards any travel purchases including airfare, hotels, car rentals, and purchases from online travel agencies. To use your miles, you simply purchase travel the way you normally would and then redeem your miles for statement credits. This card has a $95 annual fee that’s waived the first year, and no foreign transaction fees.

The Capital One® VentureOne® Rewards Credit Card offers new applicants 20,000 bonus miles after spending $1,000 within three months of account opening. It lets you earn 1.25 miles per dollar spent, and miles are also worth one cent each as statement credits towards any travel purchases. This card has no annual fee and no foreign transaction fees.

Both cards are part of the Visa Signature program, which offers a 24/7 concierge to help you with travel and shopping needs. It also offers a variety of travel and shopping discounts as well as extended warranty coverage for your purchases.

Bottom Line

The Capital One Venture and VentureOne cards were both very competitive travel rewards cards already, but this offer can vastly increase the value you receive from them. You can earn an outstanding 10x rewards from your purchases, and also earn enough Hotels.com Rewards for a free night after 10 nights are purchased from Hotels.com. Whether you are purchasing travel for business or pleasure, this may be the way to earn the most rewards for your lodging dollar.
